Just So You Know ...

--I am finished with my shopping!!!!!!! (A special thanks to the biggest Wal-Mart I have ever visited that is located two counties away.)

--I have rearranged the gifts as I usually do when we are ten days away from Christmas. Each family has their own tree. Christmas morning gifts are in the Family Room. My family's gifts are in the dining room. Patrick's family's gifts are in the Living Room. You Fuller's, Derrick's, Altman's and Fish's who read this should feel really special.

--I am finishing wrapping the gifts now. The girls and Paul are assisting take the gifts to the correct location. (OK, I just checked behind them. Only 2 of the last 6 were in the right place. I do appreciate their help. I really do.)

--The children are feeling better. Now the Mommy doesn't feel so great. Yes, I do have a doctor appointment. Thanks for asking.

--This morning I ate a pear from Harry and David for breakfast. Every year we receive a gift basket from them as a gift from someone special. And, sweet mercy those pears are good, delicious, juicy, tasty, all that. And some more. I ran out of adjectives suitable for pears. I look forward to the pears all year.

--Paul's new favorite thing to do is to drag the gift bags all over the house. He wants to see how far he can get from the tree before I will notice. Then, when he sees me, he drops it and walks as fast as he can in the other direction. I pray he's not practicing for a future of shoplifting! So, if you receive a gift from the Fuller's that is in a gift bag you can be guaranteed that Paul disassembled it before you!!

--This is the funniest thing any of my bloggy friends have written in awhile: The TCM blog You have to read it.

--Daddy lost his cell phone last week. Again. So, I called the lady in South Asia to change the equipment on his number. This is thanks to the unintended third phone that we have. When someone loses their phone, we just switch. Then we find the missing phone, we have an extra. This is really a great plan. The only problem is that now the phones are exactly backwards as originally intended. His is red. Merry Christmas. Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Fourth of July. Mine is silver. BORING.

Happy Monday!

Many of you have emailed me and asked questions about this blog over the past several months. So, I am going to "borrow" this information from one of my bloggy friends, AJ . (No, I don't know her, but I read her blog daily. 1) How do I join the blog? There is no way to officially "join" the blog. If you're a reader, you are a part! If you'd like to join in on the conversation by commenting, see the next question. 2) How do I leave a comment? Step 1) Look at the bottom of whatever post you'd like to comment on. It will say: Posted by Laura at 8:30 p.m. 0 comments Sometimes it will not say that. In that case, you'll see all the comments from that one post listed beneath it.

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never ...
